Opening the properties box

[Steveb]

Hi

Is there anyway of having the properties dialog box open up automatically
when starting a blank presentation? The box I refer to is accessed nomally
from the File / Properties on the menubar.

Thanks

Steve

I am unaware of a way to prompt for the File Properties when opening a
presentation (possible VBA add-in?). But you can have them automatically
come up when you go to save the presentation. Go to TOOLS >> OPTIONS >> SAVE
tab and check the PROMPT FOR FILE PROPERTIES option.
